Ive got this Clausing 8530 that i am so close to getting running i can smell the belts just a spinnin. With that being said is there any oils to be specifically used? I have spindle oil for the Southbend and Vactra way oil. I believe the Spindle oil was Velocite 10 for the SB? Either way would that Spindle oil be ok to use for the Clausing. Also any maintenance schedules or manuals? I know SB usually does like 3 stages. Daily monthly and yearly. Thank you in advanced!

you'll be fine treating the mill, like you might a lathe
way oil on the ways, spindle oil in the spindle!
